Governance

The rules we run on. 22 documents published in full, and a register of all 77 so you can see what exists.

Read our constitution, our code of conduct, our AI ethics policy, and our privacy policy in full below. Each one is also a PDF you can download and keep.

22 of our 77 documents are published here. The other 55 cover security controls, financial procedure, HR, and internal templates. Publishing our access controls would weaken them, and the rest describe how we run rather than what we stand for.

The register below lists all 77 anyway, marked published or internal, so you can see exactly what we hold back.
